Could this Croatian man pass in Western/Central Europe?

[liamliam]

I was told by numerous members that this man could very easily pass as being fully German, British, Irish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian as well as being from many other places in Central Europe. Personally, I very much disagree, I think he looks very south eastern European/central-eastern European, and I can't really see him passing as being Spanish/Portuguese or as English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish at all. His features look much more Eastern than Western European to me. I can see him passing in Romania, Albania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia and even Turkey & possibly Georgia. Do you disagree or agree?

His height is 6'4.

[YeshAtid]

dark irish perhaps

[Mans not hot]

He look unmistakably Croatian.

[YeshAtid]

He look unmistakably Croatian.

I could imagine him in north and west europe

[Insuperable]

Of course he can't pass

[liamliam]

I could imagine him in north and west europe

I'm sorry but I don't think he could pass for a multitude of reasons:

1. Spaniards, Italians & the Portuguese tend to be much shorter
2. His face is very eastern looking, and he does not have western European traits imo, yes there are some western Europeans who might look slightly like him, but his features are different, eg his eye/nose shape
3. His darker skin/hair is another thing that would mean he would probably not pass somewhere like Belgium or Germany, or Scotland

[liamliam]

bump

[Archduke]

He looks Southeastern European. Wouldn't mistake him for a Westerner.

[Amun]

I think he looks very Croatian. He can pass also as Italian.

[Lobotomist]

I could imagine him in north and west europe

North Europe - no.

[liamliam]

North Europe - no.

I don't feel he could pass in Western Europe either really, if he was walking down the road in Barcelona, most people would not assume him to be of Iberian ancestry, come on now, he looks very south eastern European/Balkan. Same thing goes for France, if he was walking in, I don't know, Lyon, most people would not assume him to be a native. Yes they often have olive skin and dark hair, but their features are very different. I think people in Turkey would probably assume him to be a native before French people would. And also, his nose and eyes don't look really Italian to me. Maybe he could pass there but he would be atypical imo. But he certainly doesn't look German, or Scottish.

[riverman]

I would most likely guess Italian irl. That being said there are more Italians around here than Croatians, not really familiar with their look

[Insuperable]

@liam

I do not know how much you know about Croatian look, but does he look very Croatian to you?

[liamliam]

I would most likely guess Italian irl. That being said there are more Italians around here than Croatians, not really familiar with their look

Imo though, 6'4 would be rather tall for an Italian, in my experience most of them tend to be shorter than that, I don't think I've ever met an Italian that tall. I don't think his look would be that alien in north western Turkey, to be honest:

@liam

I do not know how much you know about Croatian look, but does he look very Croatian to you?

Yes, he looks Croatian imo, but I also think he could quite easily pass as being from many other south-eastern European countries, and possibly Turkey and even Georgia too.

So, considering your post(s) I ask: To whom does an average Croat looks closer to an average French or an average Turk?

[liamliam]

So, considering your post(s) I ask: To whom does an average Croat looks closer to an average French or an average Turk?

I'd say it probably varies, but in my opinion, they have that eastern European look to them, I can't really describe it but I haven't met any French or western European people with the same 'look' if that makes sense. I guess most Croatian people look like a mix between the two, but they probably lean towards looking slightly more similar to those from Turkey with lighter pigmentation.

They just in general, have a rather different look to people from Eastern/south Eastern Europe, they tend to have fuller lips, a different eye shape, and a different nose shape.

Look. I know that there is a stereotype of French being darker Western Europeans which is bullshit and as I have said Visnjic obviously can not pass as French, but to say that an average Croat looks closer to an Turk than French... I know that you are also talking about features, but still. By Croats here I am talking about proper Croats from Croatia and not Morlach, Vlach Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina (except those from central Bosnia) and some part of Dalmatia who really have this south eastern features way more pronounced and which I can spot from a mile away. I do find it a little hypocritical posting random "everyday" group pictures of Croats while you represent French with individuals (actors and models).

Some graduation in southern Croatia. Obviously there are always some atypical people.

In my opinion he can pass in Spain,France and Italy,to some extent in Ireland and Belgium too.

:picard2: good grief, have you ever been to Ireland?! No I'm sorry, but he would not be able to pass as a native in Ireland, and as someone who has also been to Belguim, Spain and France I highly doubt he could pass there either. Most Irish people have very pale skin (some of the palest in the whole of Europe) not to mention they have Western European features, not eastern ones, also his look is just not one that would be common here at all.

Sorry but most people would not assume him to be fully Irish, it's not even really a matter of hair colour, or even skin colour, it's his features that make him look very Croatian, and certainly not Belgian or Irish.

It's not his skin colour that makes him look non-Belgian/Irish, it's his facial features okay. The length of the tip of his nose and it's robustness, his eye shape, the thinness and shape of his lips, his smile, I just wouldn't say he has a common look here in Ireland. I'm sorry but that's my opinion, and I know what Irish people look like! I would probably sooner guess him to be from the near east than I would guess him to be from Belgium, such as Georgia, northern Turkey etc. People like Croatians and all Europeans though in Ireland, so it's not like he would receive racism or anything of course, it's just I don't feel he looks stereotypically Irish, not that there's anything wrong with that.

God, you're such a troll :picard2: and dark Welsh people, do not look middle eastern, rather they look very Spanish/Portuguese and sometimes French/Italian. And 'robbing' would have no effect on dna or procreation, anyway it's been proven that Irish & Welsh and to a smaller but still large extent Scottish and English people share much DNA with the Iberian's and French, much more so than with any other group in Europe or the world.

Oh really?

[liamliam]

I think the fact he does not look western European is even more obvious on video:

[Sisak]

I think he had to invent some sort of easy to remember stage surname. I am not sure how easy it is to remember his last name for the English speakears or any other foreginers.

[riverman]

I was told by numerous members that this man could very easily pass as being fully German, British, Irish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian as well as being from many other places in Central Europe. Personally, I very much disagree, I think he looks very south eastern European/central-eastern European, and I can't really see him passing as being Spanish/Portuguese or as English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish at all. His features look much more Eastern than Western European to me. I can see him passing in Romania, Albania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia and even Turkey & possibly Georgia. Do you disagree or agree?




He doesn't look Ukrainian.

[le penalty]

Fit very well in france, i see darker guy everyday here ! Nothing strange about him, Don't listen Dollce ,he think french look like scandinavian.

[aherne]

He looks Yugoslav (which is what he is). Atypical everywhere else. At most, he passes in Northern Italy and Romania...

Yeah, I knew a Yugoslavian guy who looked quite a lot like him.

[rashka]

They just in general, have a rather different look to people from Eastern/south Eastern Europe, they tend to have fuller lips, a different eye shape, and a different nose shape.
Who has fuller lips?

[liamliam]

Who has fuller lips?

Western europeans, imo.

[Insuperable]

Western europeans, imo.

Generalization

[WOOHP]

It's not about him being dark. It's his overall look which is eastern to me. Understood?

Generalization

I said 'tend to' not 'all'. That's not a generalization, it's an observation.

[Insuperable]

I said 'tend to' not 'all'. That's not a generalization, it's an observation.

Tend to is also a generalization for such a thing to say. I always perceived Western Europeans especially Brits to be thin lipped. Since you do not think the same I can conclude we are generalizing.

This thread is epic bullshit. Višnjić could pass as German or Austrian with no priblem. All his darkness is black hair.

[Insuperable]

...

Thanks for proving my point!

[riverman]

I don't know how western European he looks, I just know what he doesn't look like, if I had to guess where he's from I'd say Italy or something, so, western look basically.

[CrystalMaiden]

Looks like a younger version of my dad TBH.

I do not think he would pass as Austrian or German or French and he is somewhat atypical even for our neighboring Italy since as people said he has specific Croatian look. I clearly said he does not look western European, not even close. I was only arguing with Liam because according to him there is a large chance he could be mistaken for a Turk or Georgian more likely rather than French.

Most of Croats dont fit in Italy. (Not about pigmentation its about different gennetics, climate etc). Also there is no some particular resemblence between Germans and Italians. Dont really see a point in pulling Italy as some argument about it. Concerning liam, lol its man who said Shakira look Ukrainian :D

Please enlighten me as to what the big difference is.

[Twistedmind]

So could you tell me why, this Polish woman looks so much like her?

Because of use aestethic surgery and artificial hair colour? If we take that two out, there is no similarity at all.
